Chapter 844: It's hard to grab the schedule
If there is love here, the filming of A Chinese Ghost Story over there is more than half.On this day, Qiao Feng went to the crew to visit the class, and during the break, Qiao Feng didn't wait to talk to Wang Xuxian and Li Jiaxin, Xu Ke came up.
"Mr. Qiao, I heard that Tianruo Youqing has started post-production, I don't know when the schedule is?" There was no greeting, Xu Ke inquired about the situation of the competitor in the first sentence.
"The schedule hasn't been set yet, but it should be in June." Qiao Feng said with a smile.
"June? There are still two months of time, if the late stage of the day is lovely, it doesn't take so long, why not in May?" Hearing this, Xu Ke frowned.
If it was released in June, it would disrupt his plans.
The best time of the year is the Spring Festival and the summer season, and the best time for the summer season is definitely in June.
Xu Ke, who has a Chinese Ghost Story 1 base, has been aiming at the June schedule from the beginning.He was worried that Tianruo Youqing would seize his schedule, so although he felt that Tianruo Youqing, who had been filmed early, was released in June, it was unlikely that he would come to inquire about the news as soon as Qiao Feng arrived at the crew.
As a result, it's very sad, and what I'm afraid of is really coming.
Seeing Xu Ke's face full of disappointment and incomprehension, Qiao Feng explained helplessly: "The post-production of Tianruo Love really won't take that long, Chen Musheng said that the post-production can be completed by early May at the latest."
"Then why...."
Xu Ke couldn't help but ask a question when he heard this, Qiao Feng waved his hand and interrupted: "Because the theater chain wants to leave enough space and time for other movies to schedule."
One sentence blocked Xu Ke's thousand words and couldn't say it.
There's no way, the theater line is not Xu Ke's family, and it can't even be considered Qiao Feng's family.
Although Longteng Cinema Line is Qiao Feng is the boss, there are still three bosses, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun.
It can't be said that Qiao Feng has invested in a movie, and your movie must be released on the best schedule.
Of course, the films invested by the other three bosses also fail to do this.
Otherwise, it will be the same as the Golden Harvest and Golden Princess Cinemas before the merger, because of the unfair scheduling of films, those independent film companies can't schedule a good schedule, and they will jump to my house and my family to your house.
Although Hong Kong is now dominated by the Longteng family, and even Chen Rongmei and the Xinbao Cinema Line established by them with foreign capital support for film scheduling have been squeezed into yesterday's yellow flowers.
Not to mention those who are independent with only one or two small movie theaters, Jiang Zhiqiang's Anle Cinema Line can also distribute movies, and even Jiang Zhiqiang has the ability to distribute some good movies to overseas markets.
Although there will certainly not be much box office, or even just the copyright to go out and release the videotape, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is not meat.
Not to mention the existence of the Shuangnan Cinema Line of leftist films.
Shuangnan Cinema Line is backed by the mainland government, and its strength is quite good, and there are more than a dozen cinemas in Hong Kong.
It's just that because of the background, it has not been relied on by the mainstream film industry, and Shuangnan Cinema Line does not focus on distributing movies to others, and their main source of films is either their own investment and shooting or some mainland movies.
But once Longteng Cinema Line does too unfairly, and the film schedule is always only for its own films, and other companies have bad schedules, then those independent film companies whose interests have suffered great losses will run to Anle Cinemas or Shuangnan Cinemas to distribute and screen them.
As long as people make more money from screening in Anle Cinemas or Shuangnan Cinemas than they make in Longteng Cinemas, there is a high chance that this kind of thing will happen.
This is the reason why the day is ready to be placed in June.
Because none of the films scheduled in May are weak stubble.
The first is the Supreme Ji Zhuangcai released in April, this film is produced by Yongsheng, the director is Wang Jing, starring Liu Dehua, Li Jiaxin, Tan Yonglin.
The starring lineup is huge, and it is a gambling film that Wang Jing is good at, and the most important thing is that the production company is too good.
Of course, the key key is that the quality of this film is really good, and the box office is quite good.
Since its release on April 5th, it has won 20 million at the box office in half a month, although the decline is very large, but it is obvious that there is no problem at all in reaping the box office for at least half a month.
Half a month down it's a big million.
Not to mention that the box office results are good, even for the sake of Xiang Jia's face, a certain amount of film scheduling for this film must also be guaranteed, which will account for a certain amount of film scheduling at least until the beginning of May.
The other is the Queen of Temple Street who will be released in a few days, although the lineup of this film is not strong, except for Zhang Aijia, both the director and the actors are average.
But when I watched the film internally, everyone thought it was very good.
Of course, if this film is invested by the four bosses of Longteng Cinema Line, then not to mention, it will definitely occupy less than May, which is a relatively good schedule.
Because although everyone says that this film is good, it is estimated that the box office will not exceed 15 million.
But that's not what they invested in.
This is a film that was invested and made by an independent company.
As mentioned above, in the film schedule of Longteng Cinema Line, in a good schedule, a certain schedule is generally arranged for the films invested by independent film companies.
I have to let the people of the independent film company see that Longteng Cinema is not a one-man eater, and their independent film company can also enjoy a good movie schedule.
Even for theaters, they don't make as much money from showing these independent studios as they do from showing their own investments.
Of course, this is not the main reason why Tianruo Love cannot be ranked in the May schedule.
The main reason for this is because of the movie Curry Chili co-produced by Golden Harvest and Yongsheng.
This movie is directed by Xiaohei Ke Shouliang, starring Zhang Xueyou, who has not yet become a god of songs, and star Zhou Xingchi.
Action comedy is the most popular genre among Hong Kong people, not to mention that the starring roles are first-line singer Zhang Xueyou and first-line actor Zhou Xingchi.
Especially Zhou Xingchi, since the release of the starring Gambling Saint and Gambler, the popularity is definitely the first in 90 years.
With Zhou Xingchi's current popularity and fame, the movies he starred in can't be treated too seriously.
Of course, no matter how famous Zhou Xingchi is, he can't be as popular as Liu Dehua, but who made Liu Dehua's Supreme Ji Champion starring Liu Dehua be released a little early, and he was already facing the next painting at the beginning of May.
Therefore, it is understandable that Longteng Cinemas did not hesitate to use the movie Curry Chili as the first shot to start this year's summer file.
